SITUATION UPDATE: COVID-19

We appreciate your patience as we have worked to resolve technical issues related to data automation over the past few days.

"OSDH's number one priority is making COVID-19 testing widely available and efficient for the public as well as operating an effective, and trusted, contact tracing program. During this time of increased demand, OSDH is prioritizing manpower and resources to communicate positive results and to provide medical guidance for quarantining and minimizing spread," said interim Commissioner Lance Frye. "We recognize the significant challenges we've experienced with outdated systems, and are working to modernize processes and incorporate new technology to streamline operations and improve critical customer services during the pandemic."
In its efforts to continuously develop robust contact tracing across the State, the OSDH will begin using text messaging in addition to phone calls to reach out to contacts. We will release more information on this new development including what contacts can expect to see in a text notification.
As of this advisory, there are 27,147 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Oklahoma.
There are 9 additional deaths. One death was identified in the past 24 hours.
- One in McCurtain County, one male in the 50 - 64 age group.
- One in Noble County, one male in the 65 or older age group.
- Three in Oklahoma County, one female in the 36 - 49 age group and two males in the 65 or older age group.

SITUATION UPDATE: COVID-19

Due to technical data entry issues, case counts for Sunday, July 19 and Monday, July 20 are low and do not reflect real-time data. OSDH's Acute Disease Service is working diligently to resolve these technical issues and will continue to provide reporting of COVID-19 information that Oklahomans have come to expect from OSDH. In the meantime, Oklahomans who receive a positive test result through a State lab will continue to be promptly notified and connected to contract tracing efforts.
In its efforts to continuously develop robust contact tracing across the State, the OSDH will begin using text messaging in addition to phone calls to reach out to contacts. We will release more information on this new development including what contacts can expect to see in a text notification.
As of this advisory, there are 25,433 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Oklahoma.
There is one additional death. None were identified in the past 24 hours.

OSDH Weekly Epidemiology Report

Today's weekly Oklahoma COVID-19 Weekly Report is now available.
Oklahoma currently ranks 40th in the cumulative incidence (per 100,000 persons) of reported COVID-19 cases in the U.S.
It is critical for Oklahomans to seek out testing, with or without symptoms. Diagnostic testing is freely available to all Oklahomans, and we continue to improve our ability to find and diagnose COVID-19 cases through our contact tracing efforts. If you are diagnosed with COVID-19, a public health worker may try to contact you; the need to adhere to instructions to quarantine and isolate remain critically important.
Reports from weeks past can be found here.
For more information, visit coronavirus.health.ok.gov.
